Is methane mitigation really the fastest way to slow climate change? (YES!!!)
30 minute presentation from Senior Climate Scientist Ilissa Ocko, PhD on what business people need to know about the climate impact of methane and - why methane mitigation is the fastest climate solution.
Followed by a 30 minute Q&A with MMIC member companies.
The Q&A is for professionals at MMIC member companies working in the methane mitigation industry and ecosystem as:
Providers of methane mitigation technologies and services

Emissions credit companies (brokers, buyers, registries)
Industry advisors and service providers
Companies committed to reducing their methane emissions
Relevant questions for Ilissa Ocko will be related to the physical sciences of methane's role in climate change, high-level marketing and the IPCC Assessment Report process, including:
Why do we hear different numbers when comparing the heat impact of methane and CO2? (Methane has more than 80x the heat impact of CO2 in the first twenty years)
As a business, what can I credibly say about the climate impact of fast action on methane?
What is the purpose of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's 7th Assessment Report (IPCC AR7), and how does it work?
Attendees will walk away with
Knowing how to explain the science on “the fastest climate solution”
Clear, scientifically-sound language that companies can use to market the value of methane mitigation in terms of climate, environmental and health impacts
A strong grasp of the importance of accuracy and consistency in marketing the climate impacts of methane mitigation
Dr. Ilissa Ocko, Senior Climate Scientist at Spark Climate Solutions, has been researching methane's impact on global temperatures for more than a decade and is a lead author on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's 7th Assessment Report (IPCC AR7).
